Gourmet products local specialties and wines Saint-Pée-Sur-Nivelle/Senpere

Every day of the year since 1977, the workshop has been kneading, shaping, creating and imagining traditional French breads, from the grain of wheat to the essential Herriko baguette. There are "home-made" viennoiseries, but the most famous are the sablé and the famous Saint-Pée brioche. The latter is the fruit of the imagination of Cédric Béchade (Auberge Basque) and Beñat Darrigues, with a combination of brioche dough, walnuts and membrillo, quince paste, to become a cake! These products can also be found at the Souraïde bakery.
